In '82 I was in Okinawa, my dad was stationed there in the army, and I wasn't the least bit interested in bowling. I actually started bowling about 10 years ago. Kinda wish I had gotten into when my dad was doing it so I could have bowled with him. While my dad was bowling, I think his hi set was like 580 something. That would be a bad night for me. After I shot my 2nd 300 I gave him my first 300 ring.

One of the best days of my life was when I cut school (U of MD) and went to practice, as I was putting my shoes on, my Father walks in (cutting work) and we each asked what the other was doing here and had a good laugh. Then we proceeded to bowl out of our minds, we bowled 4 or 5 games and every game came down to shots in the 10th frame and all games were 230+ (really good for back then especially in that house).

I remember the Angle just came out (first urethane ball ever made) and we each had secretly bought one, (secret from my Mom lol). We both had this big grin as we pulled the new "Secret Weapon" out of our bags and laughed again because we were going to destroy each other with it. I looked at the Angle my Father just placed on the rack, he grinned and said "Yep" I went to my bag and pulled mine out and put it on the return and said I won't tell Mom if you don't. I miss my Dad.
